Multiflagellate male gametes (sperms) are found in

  1. Chlamydomonas

  2. Funaria

  3. Dryopteris

  4. Riccia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Gametophytes have sessile jacketed multicellular sex organs. The male is antheridium and female is archegonium. Antheridia form biflagellated (Selaginella, Lycopodium) or multiflagellated (Dryopteris) male gametes. Antheridium producing about 32 anthropoids. Each anthropoid is large antinuclear coiled and multi flagellate.

Which is resurrection plant? 

  1. Dryopteris filix-mass

  2. Adiantum caudatum

  3. Adiantum capillus-veneris

  4. Selaginella lepidophylla


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A resurrection plant is any plant that can survive extreme dehydration and desiccation for years. Selaginella lepidophylla is a  a plant species that is native to America. It is an example of resurrection plant.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Selaginella / Fern / Pteridophyte differs from moss in

  1. An independent gametophyte

  2. An independent sporophyte

  3. Swimming antherozoids

  4. Archegonia


Correct Option: B

The heterosporous pteridophyte belonging to class lycopsida is

  1. Selaginella

  2. Psilotum

  3. Equisetum

  4. Pteris

  5. Adiantum


Correct Option: A

Zygote do not undergo reduction division immediately but produce multicellular sporophyte in

  1. Funaria

  2. Selaginella

  3. Cycas

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zygotes do not undergo reduction division immediately. They produce a multicellular body called a sporophyte. The sporophyte is not free-living but attached to the photosynthetic gametophyte and derives nourishment from it. Some cells of the sporophyte undergo reduction division (meiosis) to produce haploid spores. So, the correct option is "A" (Funaria).

Main plant of Funaria belongs to phase

  1. Polypoid

  2. Diploid

  3. Triploid

  4. Haploid


Correct Option: D

  3. 20, 40, 20 respectively

  4. 40, 10, 20 respectively


Correct Option: A
